Trump left after the insurrection. Don't you think next time, he would fight harder and smarter?

It appears that one of the teleprompters was clipped by a bullet, and slivers came off. I have not yet seen a closeup of the damaged teleprompter.

Per the map, the shooter was to the left of Trump. When Trump turned, he turned towards his right. Perhaps I am dyslexic or the NY Times flipped the map.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/13/us/trump-rally-shooting-maps-photos.html Can someone tell me how Trump's right ear got hit?

The shooter voted in the 2022 election as a Republican.

From the cited article: "While speaking at a Montana campaign rally, Trump publicly praised Montana's then-Rep. Greg Gianforte (R) — the state's current governor — for previously assaulting a reporter. "Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!" Trump said.". Please fact check this, and get back to us if it's false. Note: Cultists have the capacity to ignore data that doesn't fit in their paradigm. You can handwave away any facts you don't like. Conversely, a rational person would check the data with other sources and either accept the data as fact, or provide evidence that it was false. So I guess you save time living in a cult.

Trump didn't leave without a fight. The idea that he wouldn't fight harder and smarter next time is laughable.

Let's wait for the results of the investigation.....

We don't know anything about the shooter's motivations. Even if he were a Dem, his motivation may not have anything to do with politics.

People should not play politics with assassinations.

Your memory is poor. Trump did his best to not leave after the voters fired him.

You are making my point for me. Clearly someone wasn't paying attention.

The politics of the shooter don't matter, he was just a nut job. Maybe he just wanted his 15 minutes of fame.

Clearly, someone screwed up, and there will be investigations.

Or the nut job wanted to make Trump look good by shooting in his general direction. Unless the shooter left a manifesto, we're not going to know.

The actions of a single individual by definition cannot be a conspiracy. The guy was a nut job, who knows what his motivation was?

What call for a surge to the border? Are you claiming that illegals are voting in Federal elections?

What actions?

I don't believe there was any conspiracy, just some nut job shooter. The only wrinkle is the possibility that the nut job missed Trump on purpose, specifically to generate sympathy for Trump. But it's more likely that the nut job was a bad shot.

Doesn't matter what party the shooter belongs to - he was just a nut job.

It doesn't matter whether this nut was a Democrat or Republican. He was just a nut.

This is July. There will be many more events between now and the election that will put this in the rear view mirror.

No doubt this was a real assassination attempt. The focus is going to be on Secret Service shortcomings.

My thoughts and prayers go to Trump and his family.

One minute the Left is catapulting Trump into the White House. The next, the Left is cheating Trump out of victory in November.
